Saw a sign in the store front just east of Fucscia. I’ve gone to their Winfield location, they have some pretty good cookies.

Does it matter to anyone that they don't bake there, have an oven? Maybe I'm a traditionalist (I don't stand for God Bless America thank you), but if you call yourself a "bakery," shouldn't you have a freakin oven? Kind of like if Main Street, Northside or Beer Cellar called themselves a brewery (which they do not). IMHO.

Did Flour Barrel bake onsite or were the goods brought over from Lombard?

Personally, I could care less as long as they taste good.

For many years, yes. Then, they had an electrical issue that they deemed was cost prohibitive to fix, and they transported their baked goods from Lombard. I hear, hear, VSB is more about pies and pastries....no bakery goods like breads, cookies, donuts, rolls, etc. I can go to Jewel for that.
